SPECIAL NEWS: Lois Boisson Shakes Roland Garros with SHOCKING Statements Toward Coco Gauff — Fans Outraged, French Media in Frenzy

The usually composed grounds of Roland Garros were rocked on Tuesday when French wildcard Lois Boisson found herself at the center of a media firestorm. Following her loss in the second round, Boisson made post-match comments about American star Coco Gauff that have since gone viral — and not for the right reasons.

During a press interview after her match, Boisson was asked about the potential of facing Gauff in a future round. Her response, described by many as “arrogant and unnecessarily personal,” stunned reporters and quickly spread across social media.

“Coco’s athletic, sure,” Boisson said. “But she plays with emotion, not always intelligence. There are players more deserving of the hype — especially here in Paris.”

Within minutes, the clip exploded online. Gauff, a fan favorite with a massive international following, received an outpouring of support. Hashtags like #StandWithCoco and #RespectTheGame began trending on X (formerly Twitter), and French tennis media outlets labeled Boisson’s remarks as “tone-deaf” and “disrespectful.”

By Wednesday morning, over 15,000 angry comments had flooded Boisson’s latest Instagram post, many calling for an apology. Prominent French sports newspaper L’Équipe ran the headline:
“Boisson Dérape: Le Respect Avant Tout” (“Boisson Goes Too Far: Respect Comes First”).

Meanwhile, Coco Gauff responded with her signature calm and dignity in a brief press scrum after her own match win:

“I’ve always let my racquet do the talking,” Gauff said. “I don’t believe in tearing others down to lift myself up. I hope we can move forward with more respect in the game.”

The locker room atmosphere has reportedly turned tense, with several fellow players privately expressing their disapproval of Boisson’s comments. According to insiders, one WTA veteran told Boisson directly, “You’re new here — act like it.”

Boisson has since attempted to walk back her comments, issuing a short apology via Instagram Stories:

“I was caught up in the moment and didn’t mean to offend anyone. I respect Coco’s achievements and hope to learn from this.”

But the damage may already be done. French fans, initially proud to see a young homegrown player rise in the ranks, are now divided. Some argue Boisson’s comments were misunderstood or “lost in translation,” while others say she crossed a line.

WTA officials have not announced any disciplinary action, though they are reportedly “monitoring the situation.”

In the broader tennis world, the incident serves as a reminder that words — especially in a global sport — carry weight. Coco Gauff continues her campaign at Roland Garros with grace, maturity, and millions of supporters at her back.

As for Lois Boisson, her talent remains unquestioned, but her next appearance on the court may be met with more scrutiny than applause.
